— VAERS is compiled and provided by the CDC. If you’re going to cite VAERS you can’t then turn around and say you don’t believe the CDC. -—
Sure you can. The Vaers system is simply an online database. The CDC, by law, must maintain this database. The database has been there since 1990. It has data. You can believe the data is real and not believe pronouncements by media spokesmen at the CDC. No intellectual dishonesty at all.

Sure, if you want to selectively choose only data that reinforces your assumptions.
The CDC says VAERS adverse events, including deaths, aren't necessarily linked to the vaccines. Do you accept this or are they lying about what their own data represent?
